Thursday, October 17, 2024 – Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse got what he
deserved at the Senate yesterday during Deputy President
Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment trial.
This was revealed by Kitui
Central MP Makali Mulu following the deconstruction of Mutuse by Gachagua’s
lawyers.
Speaking during an interview,
Mulu claimed that he warned Mwengi Mutuse against going after Gachagua but he
didn’t listen.
Mulu said he told Mutuse that
the process he initiated was serious and needed to be handled carefully.
“Mwengi Mutuse was subjected to
serious cross-examination. And I had warned him and told him that what he had
started was a serious process.
“Nobody would go home just walking because you’re
impeaching them. They would do serious interrogations. And that’s what we have
seen,” Mulu remarked.
The Kitui Central MP noted that
he wondered if his Kibwezi West counterpart anticipated the cross-examination,
based on how he was responding.
“When you are asked a question,
you must be prepared. I looked at one of the lawyers cross-examining Mutuse and
wondered whether Mutuse expected it when he was pushing for the motion.
“You
must prove beyond reasonable doubt that the grounds you’re pushing forward make
sense,” Mulu stated.
His remarks come after Mutuse
had a tough time while being cross-examined by Gachagua’s legal team at the
Senate chamber on Wednesday.
In one of the instances, Mutuse
was at pains to respond to Advocate Elisha Ongoya, one of the DP’s lawyers, on
his claim that Gachagua owned the Vipingo Beach Resort.
